MOVING DAY... AGAIN!


The little Spear Family moved again!! Well we moved out of Jon's parents house up to the North Side of Spokane. We love it!! We decided to move just a week or so ago on a Tuesday and then moved everything Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It was crazy as usual but fun to be here.

Nixon is really enjoying the back porch where he likes to collect rocks.. and stick them in his mouth. :( But he also likes it when he sprinklers come on in the mornings....


He walked into the sprinklers the first time and just got a little wet and then came running back out, looked at them and went and sat down. He loves the water and to be outside so of course he would love the sprinklers.

He got so wet... silly boy!!

This is the back porch! By Jon is where the kitchen door is.

You look out to see the back yard... very cute.

More back yard. We back up to a big mountain of rocks so no back neighbors. The dogs are loving to explore all around.

The basement/ Jon's office. Moving day!!!

Nixon found the dog door and I think he is a big fan. While Jon and I were putting up ceiling fans Nixon was roaming and all of a sudden I heard him outside. YEP, he went through the dog door into the backyard.. don't worry it's fenced! What a little monkey.

The dog door is downstairs in the laundry room, where the dog WATER BOWL is also. Which Nixon loves as well.

The rest of the laundry room. F.Y.I. this picture was taken before I put anything away. Still in the putting away mode.
There is a downstairs bath right off the basement living room. It is kinda squishy to get into with the shower but I don't mind it at all.

It opens up to this. It's small and cute I think. Plus who doesn't like a third bath .. I mean really.

This is the dining room, before I put things in order.

Ta-Da and after!

Before... mass confusion!

After!

The kitchen, BEFORE

And more BEFORE!

And after!

When you walk into the house this is what you get to the left. It is kind of a three level house I guess, at least that is what Jon said it is.

Nixon's room. There isn't any neighbors behind us so there isn't any blinds on the back windows. Nixon has been sleeping in a VERY DARK room so I had to shade it with a blanket.

The master bedroom, it is really big and fits everything. I love it!

Jon and I got this dresser off of craigs list for 36 dollars. It is awesome and nice to have a dresser for the small stuff. We got rid of our last dresser before we moved to Texas.

This is our door stop to the master bedroom, it makes me smile every time I see it and maybe chuckle a little too.

The master bath, it has a shower to the left that you can't see. The counter top is zebra wood, it's pretty sweet.

The other bathroom upstairs. Jon says I have to spray my hair in THIS bathroom, not the master bathroom. Ha Ha He hates the way it smells.

And here is a spoon in the hall. RANDOM!! Nixon was "helping" me unpack and looked taking the spoons out and placing them all over the house. They endup everywhere, it's cute.

For an older house there isn't much storage but they have done a great job with making it work. I have extra room even after it was all done. This is a cupboard outside the second bath. So all the towels and linens can go in here.

And of course here is Nixon brushing his teeth. Don't try and take his tooth brush away unless you have something else to give him. He is very protective of his toothbrush.

So we are officially moved in, but we aren't changing our address really because we are keeping our PO Box since it is so much easier and I think the post office might get us all confused if I put in yet another 'change of address' request.

WOW he is cute! Love the bath shots. :) And I'm super jealous of your house, though I don't envy the unpacking. :) It's the worst part of the move, for sure!

Cute house, Michelle! Man, you guys must be pro movers by now! I hope that you will be able to stay put for a while (a year, at least!).

Super cute house. I bet it is nice to finally be away from those crazy, I mean amazing in-laws. And I love, loved them pictures and videos of Nixon.

Wow, we really like the house. It is so cute and comfortable. I also love how you don't have neighbors in the back, it seems really nice. If we end up moving back there you guys will have to help us find a house.
